Tissue Couture

Dolls are just one of the much-loved toys with fans of all ages around the world; girls or boys, women or men alike. With their ever-changing costume, tons of accessories, size and shape of dolls, this museum tour about Barbie dolls’ collection will also be showing how the designs of these dolls appealed to different audiences and their influences and impact in different markets.

Kaiju Terror

Terror in the City! Come witness the King of the Monsters in all its glory, named Godzilla. It is depicted as an enormous, destructive, prehistoric sea monster awakened and empowered by nuclear radiation. With the nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the Lucky Dragon 5 incident still fresh in the Japanese consciousness, Godzilla was conceived as a metaphor for nuclear weapons. Enormous in size and strength, this King of the Monsters comes with ‘atomic breath’ and et is usually a violent and destructive force.

Come and take “one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind” with The Greatest Science Fantasy!
